Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stroke has become a serious problem in Indonesia. Its prevalence tends to increase every year. Individuals who have had a stroke are unable to live independently. In continuing their daily activities, post-stroke patients must be able to adapt and unite their desires and life goals with physical, psychological, social, role, and spiritual changes compared to before suffering a stroke. Failure in the adaptation process will make the quality of life of post-stroke patients significantly decrease. The WHO considers the potential use of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as an instrument to measure the quality of life of post-stroke patients which has been commonly used in many studies.AIM: This study aimed to analyze the validity and reliability of HRQoL questionnaire on post-stroke patient. It also analyzes the psycho-social, role, and spiritual dimensions of the quality of life of post-stroke patients using sociology theoretical approach utilizing structural functionalism theory and social change theory.METHODS: HRQoL, consists of 37 questions including physical, psychological, social, role, and spiritual dimensions, was applied to measure the quality of life. Pearson product moment and Cronbach’s alpha were used as validity and reliability test. Analysis of the sociological approach was carried out using Talcott Parsons Sociology.RESULT: Forty-four post-first stroke attack respondents from two hospitals in Surabaya East Java and Klaten Central Java, Indonesia, were obtained. Construct validity test showed that six questions were not valid study (p > 0.05, r < 0.297) and 31 questions were valid. The reliability test exhibited that all valid questions were reliable (Cronbach’s α=0.888). CONCLUSION: TheHRQoL is a reliable and valid instrument with good psychometric properties. The scale is recommended for assessing quality of life of post-stroke patients.
